“BRILLIANT
MISTAKES” CASTING CALL

Independent
feature film, “BRILLIANT MISTAKES”, to be directed

by
Litchfield’s Paul Brighton, seeking to fill several principal and
supporting

COMPENSATION:
TBD based on experience & role- Film and IMDB credit, Travel expenses or
Lodging TBD as needed

LOCATION:
Litchfield, CT and surrounding areas

SYNOPSIS:

“BRILLIANT
MISTAKES” is about Marcus, a young 24 year old Connecticut English
teacher. His young girlfriend, Gabby is driving to her job at the bakery and
is struck by texting driver. Gabby is left in a vegetative state and can no
longer speak or walk. Marcus had previously promised to marry Gabby, and
while the values instilled by his well-respected parents are ingrained in
Marcus, he succumbs to two trust-worthy people who pull him in opposite
directions. This causes Marcus to get sideswiped and question his
loyalties.Marcus is consumed by his love, his values, and his guilt for
meandering on his path to fulfilling his promise.

In
the end, we see a young man who finally comes full circle to embrace
life's unexpected surprises.

Mark
O’Brien (Mid 40s in the Present/ages 16 to 30 in
the Past), a “wonderful son” who has given up on his own dreams. He
drinks too much. This actor should be attractive, have an edge, able to see the
irony especially in his mother's odd statements and habits. He is
intelligent, neurotic, insecure, and funny despite himself. He has given up on
life until the appearance of Ted, who rekindles his emotions and
passion.

Ginnie
O’Brien,Mark’s mother (late 70s in the
Present/40s in the Past), a charismatic, charming woman who maintains an upbeat
façade to conceal her fears. She suffers a profound narcissistic wound which
she has encased in layers of charm, bubbliness, manipulativeness, fantasy, and
at times grandiosity. As the play unfolds, the layers are stripped away and
we see a woman increasingly desperate to hold on to the past. Not unlike Amanda
Wingfield in Glass Managerie.

R.J.
O’Brien,Mark’s father from the Past (70s in the
Present/50s in the Past), a sales executive who suddenly disappears. An
attractive, maculine man, straight out of a 1960s Sears catalog,
but who covers his profound desire to escape his family through emotional aloofness
or drunkenness and eventual escape (must be able to play drunk well).

Dickie
O’BrienMark’s
younger brother (40ish in the Present/14-30 in the Past), a successful
businessman. Arrogant, a little smarmy, self possessed and emotionally
constrained. Can be bitingly funny, esp in dealing with his neurotic
mother. Would be a soulless prick, if we didn't also see the vulnerability
underneath caused by his father's complete rejection of him. Attractive and
extremely well dressed. Own's his own business, deals with very rich
clients providing financial advice. Trophy family. Must be able to also portray
Dickie as a 14 year old

Needed - Boy 7 -
10 who can be dressed in a suit and come across as an adult. Must be good
with copy. Any ethnicity. (Speaking)

Needed Mother and
Toddler between the ages of 2 and 4 years of age. (Non-speaking)

To be filmed 4th
week of September, 2010. Experience preferred but all will be considered. Must
be available for an interview/audition with parent or guardian Friday Septemeber
10th at Tripeg Studios in Hamden, CT.

Submit head shot
(or photo) and resume including contact information to Reno@ActorsGym.net

Doc Hydro: (Male, Late 20s to early 30s) Our spokesman. A strong,
intense and perhaps overly-empathetic man, imparting wisdom to the masses. His
intensity is a little disconcerting, but he definitely commands a room.

Justin: (Male, early to mid 20s) Our scruffy faced dude in need of
a “hydrovention.” Justin is a cool, hip, stylish, well-meaning guy on the
inside – but has let his beard become ratty and unkept

Matt: (Male, early to mid 20s) Justin’s best friend, who is
alarmed by his friend’s condition. Matt is clean-shaven and stylish. He’s
empathetic, but also blames Justin for some recent events, where a potential
hook-up was “beard-blocked” by his friend’s unruly appearance.

Jason: (Male, late 20s) Justin’s clean-shaven disinterested older
brother. Jason is begrudgingly there for the sake of the family, but doesn’t
seem particularly concerned about his brother’s predicament. In fact, he’s
often caught texting or listening to his mp3 player in the background, hardly
paying attention to the proceedings.

Jill: (Female, early to mid 20s) Justin’s sister, who is very
concerned over her brother’s condition. She’s concerned that no girl would
ever date him again. As a twin, they shared a lot growing up and it kills her to
see Justin like this.

Lauren: (Female, early to mid 20s) Justin’s snide and sarcastic
ex-girlfriend, who broke up with him when his beard-abuse got out of control.
She’s there for support, but she’s also relishing the opportunity to release
her pent-up anger over Justin’s hairy habits.

John, Justin’s Dad: (Male, late 40s to mid 50s) Justin’s stoic
dad, a man of few words, is visibly upset at the path his son has chosen. And
unknown to his family, John harbors a dark secret: his father was a hairaholic,
and he witnessed beard abuse as a child. Now, he fears it’s genetic and Justin
is living out this vicious cycle.

Jane, Justin’s Mom: (Female, early 40s to mid 50s) Justin’s mom
is a caring and sympathetic woman, clearly distraught over her son’s
condition. She laments the loss of her “smooth faced little boy” and begs
him to get treatment.

Needed
multiple children ages 4 - 11, all ethnicities. 3 of the roles are
speaking roles.

To be filmed in
New Haven late August 2010. Experience preferred but all will be
considered. Must be available for an interview/audition with parent or
guardian.

shot (or photo) and resume including contact information to Reno@ActorsGym.net

American
Jubilee is a feature comedy with existential elements. The
screenplay was written by Ryan Casey (Director of Crushing Pennies,
Executive Director of Ditch, and Producer of Sensory Perception).

- 30, average build.
Lives at his father, OTIS' house and believes that he is staying there to take
care of his womanizing father. Avery is a follower, dabbles, not good at
knowing what he's good at and/or, not good at knowing what other peoples' needs
are.

KENZIE
McCormick - 20, average to thin
build. Tries to fix things, engineer, very analytical/left-brainer,
touchy, critical even of her family. Was offered many scholarships because
of her ability to understand engineering/the mechanics of how the physical world
works.

OTIS
McCormick

- 60, average build.
Womanizer. Retiring anesthesiologist. Through exposition we realize
that OTIS has an affliction of causing women to be thoroughly interested in him
- years of this and his floating from woman to woman (after he and his wife
divorced and she passed) is what caused his nervous breakdown.

JUNE
"Junie" McCormick -

45, normal build.
JUNIE has no filter on life. But this is not necessarily a bad thing...
Junie is good at heart and sometimes wishes she could better communicate with
the McCormick children.

LYSSANDRA
Catfield - 30, Sexy.
OTIS' next semi-blind neighbor who lives above them in the two family house.
She supposedly takes care of her sick mother. LYSSANDRA has a sharp sense
of humor that stings most people.

RANDY
"mittens" OR "the Gull" Gullchrest - 45, normal to larger build. A
local thief. RANDY is somewhat of a cultured person - he listens to
classical music in the broken down school bus he lives in. He is somewhat
hip, but this is somewhat eclipsed by his obsession with thievery. RANDY
is living his dream.

CASSIE
Bright - 23, Average to thin build. Otis'
girlfriend. Natural beauty. Somewhat earthy. Smart, knows what
she wants at all levels of life, calm, realist, kind, has a heart inside, loves
animals (because they reciprocate love without any complications and also she
likes taking care of them as she does OTIS).

CLAUDE
McCormick - 9, the youngest of
the McCormicks. Runs a gambling ring at school, has no parental
discipline, using only what he sees on TV as a moral compass. Claude
is afloat in life.

NADINE- 25 to 30, a very attractive uptight, thin
to average build, uber-trendy dressed, as if she were auditioning for Fox News,
reporter.

Need actors for my screenwriting class finales ...
which will be held at the Garde Arts Gallery on the corner of State Street
& Meridian Street in New London, right across from Hanafin's Irish Pub,
Wednesday, Thursday, June 9th & 10th. Actors must arrive no later than 6 PM for
performances starting 6:30 PM. I will hand you scripts with the roles
indicated and then you go off and practice either alone or with other
actors in your scenes.

These are all sit-down readings at a table in front of
the audience in the Gallery. It's not like a stage play where you get up
and move around. You can do damn near whatever you want at the table ... but cannot get up. Someone will
always be assigned to reading the action sequences in a very animated fashion.
Screenplay presentations are unique!

(Do NOT confer with the writers beforehand. This will
tell them if they've conveyed their intents clearly with the scripts. Old
expression: "If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage!")

As usual the grateful writers will provide food &
drink for all of you and the audience, so come prepared to munch and chug. And
thank you for doing this. It's the first step these writers will have in the
pursuit of a dream that eventually culminates with script-to-screen.

Please e-mail me soon with a response which night(s)
you can perform. Till later ~

They will begin
scheduling audition times on Wednesday, March 24th. Auditions

will be held on Sunday,
April 11th form 9AM-4PM for 10 Minute slots. I'm guessing they want a headshot
and resume for audition slots -

For opera, please prepare two contrasting arias,
one in

English and at least one
must be contemporary.

For musical theatre, please prepare two 32 bar cuts
from

contrasting songs and a
contemporary monologue.

ACT 2
THEATRE, located on the campus of Albertus Magnus College, New Haven
Connecticut, will hold auditions for the musical RUNAWAYS by Elizabeth Swados.
Auditions will be held at the Theatre on Friday, December 4, 2009
starting at 7 pm. Auditions are open to adult men and women of all ages
and children between the ages of 9 -15. Those auditioning should bring the music
they are prepared to sing.

RUNAWAYS'
subject matter deals with the issue of runaway children and adults. Their life
on the street and their longing for a supportive, loving family life denied them
by circumstance. Runaway and abducted children and adults is a national crisis
too often hidden in the shadows until one is sensationalized for a few brief
news cycles. The crisis is quickly forgotten as are the many thousands of
children who now must call the street a home. Many thousands of children and
adults are forced out of their family unit every year with no alternative but to
survive in any way available to them. RUNAWAYS was originally performed by a
cast that called the street their home.

Rehearsals
for RUNAWAYS will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from EARLY
January through February, 2010. Performances will be Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays in February, 2010.

For more
information on auditions, rehearsals and performances, please, call the Theatre

LOCAL
AUDITIONS FEB. 10-11 FOR NEXT STAGE PRODUCTION AT LONG WHARF THEATRE

NEW HAVEN - Long Wharf Theatre, under the leadership of Artistic
Director Gordon Edelstein, invites local Non-Equity actors of all ages
to audition for Finding the Sun by Edward Albee and Seagulls by Caryl
Churchill, to be produced by the Next Stage Program, a program for early
career theatre professionals.

Finding the Sun is Edward Albee’s quirky but profoundly human
exploration of eight individual lives intersecting on a New England
beach one hot July afternoon. When old lovers meet, mothers meddle, and
generations come together, they are forced to re-examine their lives in
a new light.

Seagulls follows a British woman named Valery trying to regain her
mysterious powers after they suddenly vanish in this mesmerizing
offering by Caryl Churchill. Despite her manager’s pushing and a young
fan’s encouragement, Valery strives to find herself even as she seeks
the courage to continue.

Auditions will be held Tuesday, Feb. 10 and Wednesday, Feb. 11, from
6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Each audition will be five minutes.

Callbacks will be held Thursday, Feb. 12 starting at 6:00 pm. Rehearsals
will be held 3-4 times a week, evenings and weekends beginning February
23. Performance dates will be Friday, April 24, at 8:00 pm; Saturday,
April 25, at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm; and Sunday, April 26, at 2:00 pm.

roles.

Please prepare two contrasting contemporary monologues that run no more

calendar of conflicts that may interfere with the rehearsal period.

ABIGAIL: Early to mid 20’s, married young, haunted by unfulfilled
dreams and a desire to feel wanted. Yearns for love and
recognition from her husband Benjamin. A wounded soul.

pulled-together, and focused, but maintains an inwardly manipulative
quality.
DANIEL: Mid to late 30’s. Hides beneath a delightful sense of humor
and sarcasm. Harbors a deep desire to reconcile broken
relationships, despite his sarcastic comments.
EDMEE: Mid 40’s. Single mother. Instructive and protective,
matter-of-fact, wants the best for her son, though is not fully aware of
his inquisitive personality.
FERGUS: Teenager. Top marks in high school. Maybe a genius. Eager,
particular, and uninhibited. Looking for answers to life’s big
questions as only an adolescent boy can do.
GERTRUDE: Early to mid 60’s. Nosey and proud of it.
Seeking both adventure and security as she pries into other people’s
lives.

and grateful. In love with life and open to its simple pleasure.
Willing to admit to his fears and pleasures.
